Dr. Tukufu Zuberi is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. He is also a filmmaker, writer and social critic. He was also a key figure in the long-running PBS series "History Detectives." In 2013, he produced a documentary film, "African Independence," which focused on key independence movements in Africa and the many challenges they encountered on the long road to success.

On Wednesday, March 20th at 11:00 A.M., Dr. Zuberi will give a Zoom talk for Central Senior Services, called "An Introduction to Africa." During this presentation, he will highlight how great empires arose in Africa centuries before Britain and France were modern nations. Dr. Zuberi will also explain the different histories of East and West Africa. He will also compare the success of former French colonies with those of the former British colonies. Dr. Zuberi is a gifted teacher and communicator and his personal Warmth seems to come right through the screen. See for yourself.
